Reasons to Smile Freebie

Welcome! As you may already know from following Nichole Heady's blog, Papertrey Ink's online Stamp-a-faire event is coming up on Saturday, August 24. While I've been traveling to much lately to get many Stamp-a-faire projects done, I was tickled pink (okay, tickled red!) to have a chance to play with the Reasons to Smile stamp set! Reasons to Smile is an exclusive stamp set that can be earned at Saturday's Stamp-a-faire event.

Again, be sure to see Nichole's blog HERE for more on the Reason's to Smile stamp set and Stamp-a-faire. :-} I hope you get a chance to participate, because I'm pretty sure that it will be FUN!

Ready for some card details? The only stamp set that I used was Reasons to Smile, even in the background. Cardstock is Pure Poppy, Stampers Select White, and Smokey Shadow. I stamped the leaves in Simply Chartreuse, and the blossoms in Pure Poppy and True Black. I used a glue pen to add black glitter and used a Copic BG15 and Copic Airbrush System to lightly airbrush a sky behind my poppies. Ribbon is Smokey Shadow Satin, and the sentiment is stamped on a die cut made with a PTI Double-Ended Banners die I added a bit of Chamomile Distress ink to the edges and stitched a border with my sewing machine. That's pretty much it! I'll have another PTI card to share tomorrow; hope to see you then. Thanks for visting!
